Artwork @Jared Moraitis 2016

I highly recommend Brian’s brush sets, whether you’ve been making digital art for a while, or are just getting started.”

“Digital inking is something I reluctantly embraced due to necessity. I didn’t care for it at first, but that changed when I discovered Brian Allen’s sets of amazing inking tools for Manga Studio/Clip Paint. I’m amazed not only at the range of brushes he has created and made available, but also by the wonderful variety of lines, strokes and effects I am able to easily create with them. I know I can rely solely on these amazing tools and brushes to easily handle any sort of look or feel I might need to create (and even some that I had no idea I COULD create)!”
